I did get out and washed Shari's Escape, and my dirty truck yesterday.
Shari stayed fairly busy here in the house, and packed up two of her display cases, that I will not touch.
Things break in my hands.
One more mug of coffee in the pot, then to see what happens today.
Hope y'all have a good day.

Headed to get some breakfast cause neither me or the wife feel like cooking breakfast.
Then I plan on finishing up the wiring for the Free Hot tub we got back in October. Hoping to get it filled and tested today, then to learn how to treat the water, I assume it would be similar to a swimming pool.

My foot was feeling a little better yesterday so as usual I overdid it...lol. A little sore today but I had enough of sitting in the house for the last couple of weeks. Decided to finish installing the wood stove.
WE HAVE HEAT...
Works great and the chimney draws good. If I was to run this little stove at full tilt, I could probably melt the trailer. Got this pic right before the stove reached optimum temperature and started burning cleanly. No smoke from the stack at all once she warms up. Just something soothing about a wood fire. I'm not going to try to sleep in it until the carbon monoxide detector arrives.
Be Good!

Tim and I did get the rest of the Christmas lights out of the taller tree in the front yard today.
Shari has done some more packing, and shred 3 bags of paperwork. I did finally lay to rest the piece of crap Pioneer 5.1 HDMI surround sound receiver that went **** up on me right after the warranty went out.
Well, not really laid to rest. I beat it with my Collins axe

Cool you got to play with fire Larry. What's a tic? Thermal something.
That stovepipe looks awesome Marty. You should be plenty toasty in there.
Bob, that radio needs a few bullet holes added.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Good morning everybody!
I'm debating on fighting with my stereo in the brown truck. It was a cluster to get the Sync, time and date set to work with that aftermarket faceplate. I bet I had the factory stereo back in the truck at least 5 times. Yes, you have to have the factory stereo, to that vehicle to set those options. Believe me, the company's web sight doesn't mention how big a pain in the butt the job is.
Bit when I did my speaker install, with crossovers for the front speakers, I unhooked the battery. Thinking that since I "Did" have everything working, that it would retain that memory, so I unhooked the battery, and went to work.
Well, as soon as I unhooked the battery, it forgot all of the settings. So, to get the Sync features that I really do like, as well as time, and date, I have to reinstall the factory stereo, and start from scratch. And seeing that time and date wrong, drives me insane, and I'm too far from that as it is.
I've brought up putting black electrical tape over the time and date, but Shari has voiced her thoughts rather well in my doing that. And I can't use Sync either, and I paid for the stuff to retain Sync......
Decisions Decisions Decisions.

Melt down!
Yup, I had lost it.....again.
I usually do part of our grocery shopping at Wallymart. Specially the lists like today, toilet paper, laundry soap, deoderant etc.
Finally making it to check out, and there are people (not employee's, they're not, people) standing everywhere.
Idiots had 3 express lanes open, and 1......regular lane for idiots like me, that were spending a couple hundred bucks.
I had reduced myself to doing the same thing that had almost gotten me banned from Lowes stores. (True, story). I stood under the camera giving it "The Bird", but unlike Lowes, nobody came to me, nobody cared.
I found a guy "Chandler" wearing his little yellow vest, and let him have it. Both barrels, no chokes.
By the time i had gotten checked out, there were 4, more cashiers going to town.
I'm really surprised I didn't the local fuzz called on me today.
BEER ME
